British Cinemas Restrict Smart Glasses Use, Fearing Piracy

Cinemas in the UK have started to introduce restrictions on the use of "smart" glasses with built-in cameras. The reason is fears that they could be used to illegally record films and distribute them online, writes Reuters.

The discussion, in particular, concerns Meta models with artificial intelligence functions. Rules depend on the specific cinema: some operators completely ban such glasses, while others introduce certain restrictions.

The British Cinema Association notes that smart glasses can be useful for people with special needs. Therefore, operators intend to seek a balance between security against piracy and the accessibility of cinemas for people with disabilities.

Attention to such devices in the UK intensified after courts in England and Wales banned the use of Meta smart glasses in courtrooms in August. The restrictions are related to the ability to surreptitiously take photos and videos.

Thus, the development of glasses with cameras and artificial intelligence is already forcing public institutions to review the rules for their use.
